Krishna accepts the essence of sincere chanting despite circumstantial falls; cheating guru blocks all spiritual progress.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 6.1.28-29 — July 13, 1975, Philadelphia 750713SB-PHILADELPHIA [29:32 Minutes] SB-06.01.28-29_750713SB-PHILADELPHIA Nitāi: Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. [Prabhupāda and devotees repeat] Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Sixth Canto, First Chapter, verses 28 and 29. [leads chanting of verse, etc.] sa pāśa-hastāṁs trīn dṛṣṭvā puruṣān ati-dāruṇān vakra-tuṇḍān ūrdhva-romṇa ātmānaṁ netum āgatān dūre krīḍanakāsaktaṁ putraṁ nārāyaṇāhvayam plāvitena svareṇoccair ājuhāvākulendriyaḥ [SB 6.1.28-29] [05:07] "At the time of death, Ajāmila saw three awkward persons, very fearsome in appearance, with ropes in their hands. They had twisted faces and deformed bodily features, and their hair stood on end.
They had come to take Ajāmila away to the shelter of Yamarāja. Ajāmila became extremely bewildered when he saw them. His small child, Nārāyaṇa, was playing a little distance off, and with tearful eyes and great anxiety, he called the name of his son very loudly three times, 'Nārāyaṇa, Nārāyaṇa, Nārāyaṇa!' " Prabhupāda: Is there "three times"? Nitāi: It said in the manuscript. The manuscript said "three times." Prabhupāda: Who said in the manuscript?
There is no three times. Not "Nārāyaṇa" three times. One time, "O Nārāyaṇa," that's all. So did I say "three times"?
Hmm? No, it is not said here. You should correct it. Once, hey, "O Nārāyaṇa," that's all.
There is no reason of calling three times. There is no mention here. Once is sufficient. [laughter] Hmm. sa pāśa-hastāṁs trīn dṛṣṭvā puruṣān ati-dāruṇān vakra-tuṇḍān ūrdhva-romṇa ātmānaṁ netum āgatān dūre krīḍanakāsaktaṁ putraṁ nārāyaṇāhvayam plāvitena svarupena ājuhāvākulendriyaḥ [SB 6.1.28-29] Uccair ājuhāva, very loudly, "Nārāyaṇa!" Like that.
That's all. Uccair ājuhāva ākulendriyaḥ. Hmm. So you edited it?
Not yet? Nitāi: No. Prabhupāda: So you should keep at least what is there. So this is the position at the time of death. Sometimes you will find the dying man is crying, ākulendriyaḥ, tearful eyes. He cannot express.
